May is the last quiet month before the season and the best time to work out what Marbella means by price. The average appraised square metre is €4,477, but the area around Puerto Banús and an ordinary neighbourhood are different markets. It can only be compared with other appraisals: Málaga €3,283, Estepona €3,453 half an hour away, Barcelona €4,595. There are 9 international schools — in our base only Barcelona has more.
